Easter Eggs Golden Sun

Within hope shines no matter

Resurrect in Beauty

Sequence in the Morning – Sun Salutation visualizing colors of reds, oranges and yellows – remembering how it felt when you faced up to the sun with eyes narrow … how the sun warmed your face and lines of blurred heat filled up your head … your forehead saw rainbows of colors dancing – then you move into – Warriors to muster courage, be grounded, be balanced, feel the breath move – Down and Up dogs to play with animals we love to befriend – bears sitting in chair?  – What else?

Flip – Take a Seat – surrender into child to move on to heart and hip openers … Open – Light – Expansive beyond the time and space that imprisons us especially now, to again find that boundless, limitless Universe… Breathe Deep … effortless … Be.

 

 

 

We are experiencing disruptions and uncertainties in our lives. In Ayurveda, a sister science to Yoga, when we experience fear and anxieties associated with upheaval and vulnerabilities, we call such state or condition as being “Vatta”. When we are in Vatta state, we need everything that’s opposite in our yoga practice. We need to feel a sense of stability, control/power, and … the CALM. While it is true that for some, when there’s quite a bit of tension and you are one tight ball of nerves, you cannot just be “calm” and for those, warm-up exercise … for some maybe a little firey practice of heat is helpful. That does not have to mean “intense” and pant and run out of breath into shreds. No … to instill the sense of power and control in your breath by coordinating gentle movements with breath. Perhaps, using the calming resonance of chanting, can be very helpful in down-regulating nerves that may be on edge or in over-drive.

If chanting is ??? to you, how about howling into the night, this PINK SUPERMOON moving in the way I taught you in my gentle yoga class. If you need a review, reach out to me and we can go over. Remotely. but Together.

Porter Robinson & Madeon collaborates with Japanese anime production house to produce this wonder.

It’s an old video … from 2016. But a little fitting today while the story is far fetched Sci-Fi. Talk about isolation to the max … the story line is heartbreaking Japanese anime or be it real today. Self-quarantine? Shelter at HOME – yeah, HOME! How lucky we are. We are not at war-zone; we are not shipped off to out of space; our earthship is still intact and beautiful. We are still fortunate. We can connect with others; we are not alone. We are still all on this planet. Temporarily apart but Together.

Gratitude.
